All individuals should be able to have and own their own domain names (opens in new tab)

But then, we wouldn't need email servers at all! The humanity!

Ok, but there are (at least) 4 people in my country with the same name as me, so either it's going to be some shitty name.name4938 deal or someone is going to be disappointed.

For those who were just as mystified as I was when I clicked on the link:

The main goal of EU.org is to provide free subdomain registration to users or non-profit organizations who cannot afford the fees demanded by some NICs.

EU.org is not endorsed to any European Union initiative, but it's also not a TLD, only a subdomain.

How is this different from.. Geocities?

I've taken to buying a .xyz that (mostly) matches the mobile phone number for each of my family.

That costs me about $10 for 5 years.. I then point it to whatever service they're like me to host for them.

The offer is being slow on the uptake atm, but I am in the middle of migrating from google photos to immich and that has garnered some interest
